Part 2/6:
During a recent reporting trip, I encountered a variety of these health products. One standout technology is the digital stethoscope, which operates by placing an electrode on the patient's body. This device not only measures heartbeats but also records multiple vital signs. The convenience and accuracy of this tool raise the question: will doctors eventually abandon traditional instruments for these modern alternatives?
The South Korean PET Technology
A notable product comes from a South Korean company that has developed a PET - a type of body adhesive that enables comprehensive monitoring of a patient’s vital signs. Unlike traditional devices, this adhesive can provide continuous monitoring, potentially replacing multiple standalone machines currently in use in hospitals.
